Product Name: Bantam
Manufacturer Name: L3Harris Technologies
Product Description: The Bantam engine family, developed by L3Harris, represents a groundbreaking advancement in rocket propulsion technology by leveraging 3D printing capabilities to streamline production. Adapted from the proven Atlas Sustainer engine design, the Bantam engines consist of only three major 3D-printed components: the injector assembly, combustion chamber, and a monolithic throat and nozzle section. This innovative approach significantly reduces both design and manufacturing time from over a year to just a couple of months, while cutting costs by approximately 65% compared to traditional manufacturing methods. With thrust capabilities ranging from 5,000 to 30,000 pounds and compatibility with various fuels including kerosene, ethanol, methane, and storable propellants, the Bantam engines are poised to revolutionize the future of rocket propulsion systems.
